Meet The Team
Maria
Owner/Photographer
An outdoor-loving, music festival attending, eclectic personality
I love modern versions of vintage media (Instax cameras, record players, and digitized film), cooking, and staring into the night sky.
I am a serial hobbyist and can always be found trying new things in the name of excitement, adventure, and learning. A condition sometimes called ✨ADHD✨. With the ability and freedom to always create and try new things, what better job could I ask for?
Whether you see yourself having an intimate backyard celebration, your dream destination wedding, or eloping with your best friends at your favorite hangout, I want to be here to support you and show your love in a way that stays true to you.
Jackson
Photo/Video
The human embodiment of
“jack of all trades”
From sales to ICU nursing to marketing director to instagram influencer and educator, this sweet man does it all and has never heard of half-assing. And that’s barely scratching the surface.
With a resume like that, Jackson can walk into any room, start a conversation, and find common ground almost instantly. He’s naturally curious, quick to pick things up, and has that rare ability to be genuinely interested in people in a way that makes them feel instantly at ease.
On wedding days, he’s my extra set of eyes, hands, pockets, and sometimes even height. If you’re looking for film photography, videography, or a different perspective on your wedding day, Jackson is a must-have.
Then and Now:
Jackson and I met back when we were just 8, while attending a very small private Christian school. He was my first "boyfriend" briefly in middle school, which basically meant we texted each other from our parents' phones and shared one singular kiss that I responded to by running away. Oops lol.
We ended up in different high school districts and mostly lost touch, aside from running into each other at Tabor vs East games and occasional group hangouts with our grade school friends. We spent the next decade living about as differently as two people can. Jackson went the more traditional route, with college and a career in healthcare. I, on the other hand, left high school early, started a photography business, traveled the world, and even lived in a van.
At 25, we ran into each other again and connected over his desire to learn more about photo and video. Lucky for him (and now for me), I knew a guy…😏
Think We’re a Good Fit?
Between the two of us, we've lived many different lives: healthcare and small businesses, structure and spontaneity, staying put and traveling full time. That range has gifted us with two completely different perspectives on every experience. For you, this means a fuller, more honest picture of your wedding story.
If you're looking for a team that brings real range and experience in genuine partnership to a wedding, we'd be honored to be part of yours.
